Transcription

Massive busing produces inferior education, and education's the name of the game. President Nixon believes busing is wrong, and he intends to do something about it. I mean, busing, when it's used in a massive way, is bad. But when you take kindergarten kids and put them on a bus for an hour and a half, when they got to school they could walk to five minutes away, well, that's wrong. It's wrong for the white children, it's wrong for the black children. It will have the effect of creating hatreds, hatreds among the kids. Their lives should not be experimented with, their education should not be affected in a detrimental way. That's what the busing is all about. There's still much to be done to improve the education of all of our children. This is why we need President Nixon, now more than ever.
